Native Instruments Kontakt 5 v5.6.8 SYMLiNK iNSTALLER WiN screenshot
P2P | May 27 2017 | 548 MB | Update Only: 88 MB
Once again, NATIVE INSTRUMENTS raises the bar with KONTAKT 5 — the latest version of the industry-leading sampler. KONTAKT 5 takes a bold leap forward with 37 new filters, four new on-board studio effects, updated time-stretching, a new instrument bus system and more. As you will see from the new STUDIO DRUMMER, for example, it's a deep-rooted update to the KONTAKT platform, allowing us — and you — to create even better instruments and more powerful, expressive sounds.

What's New in 5.6.8

- ADDED New KSP built-in variable ($NI_CONTROL_PAR_IDX) returns the index of the element triggering a UI callback; applies to tables and the XY Pad
- CHANGED Add & Activate Library buttons now launch Native Access which now also supports 3rd party Libraries
- FIXED The frame rate would drop significantly if multiple waveform displays were used on a KSP UI
- FIXED The Missing Samples dialog would always suggest the default user folder instead of the folder the NKIs are in
- FIXED Crash when switching to Mini View under circumstances
- FIXED Using get_control_par() with $CONTROL_PAR_ALLOW_AUTOMATION now returns the correct value instead of always 0
- FIXED Certain Bank properties would be discarded when re-saving NKSNs
- KNOWN ISSUE The documentation is not up to date

Hey People, google for the next Japanese holiday and you will know when you will have native access cracked properly.
It is not what you've got; it's how you use it.

To add RAS2 libraries, you need to leave Kontakt 5.exe from the previous version (or add them by hand if you know how).

I get the Kontakt 5 required Native Access error as soon as I click "add library". All older libraries show up fine though.

What my work around at the moment is to use the 5.6.6 .exe standalone to add libraries and then use the 5.6.8 .dll plugin. Seems to be working fine like that for me.

To add too, some libraries I added in 5.6.6 that didn't add properly, with it looking like it's done but the library tab wallpaper not showing, they seem to pop up when I open 5.6.8

Is there any chance to run both, the fully functional 5.5.6 version besides the new one?
This would be a very great help.

We could run our usual environment with our fully working libraries and we could run the new Kontakt version side by side to load the newer libraries.

Any possibility?

Yes you can do that. You can still run say all combinations of side by side, with the combinations of say legit and unlocked by renaming etc.
Therefore is no problems say running 5.6.8 legit alongside 5.6.6 unlocked.
So up till say this moment in time is a way round all libraries. Example running that combination as people pointed out you can add libraries with say unlocked 5.6.6 through kontakt.
After they added they will then be picked up by legit installation. So in theory all libraries at this moment in time are covered I reckon.
However the real bad news is that ANY player libraries released from this moment in time will demand that 5.6.8 is installed.
So that means until you have a new unlocked version of say 5.6.8 is released you are going to be screwed with regards to any new player libraries without 5.6.8.
So all in all screwed for any NEW player releases until an updated unlocked version etc of at least 5.6.8 is released. I think lol
Soon there also not going to be ANY service centre and everything will be run through Native Access.
So things changing fast but only the way that was expected and ways around stuff will always be found.
If not just use the other 2 million cool as hell libraries already released that work no problems lol

quote by mylonojrSame problem here. Can't load libraries.
BTW, I just replaced the .exe, I didn't do a full install.

1) Take the Kontakt 5.dll from any previous version (5.5-5.6.6)
2) Rename it in for example Kontakt 5.6.6.dll
3) In your DAW, scan the plugins and mark it
4) In your DAW, enable it and add the library
5) You can use the library and in 5.6.8, it will also appear there

TX for the reply, Sunny. But please, could you make some things clearer.

What do you mean when you say "mark it" (the plugin)?
All in all, should I use the dll from a previous version (say 5.6.5) and the exe from version 5.6.8?. This is what I actually did.


JUST CHECKED:
The only possible solution so far (this might be what you meant) is to replace the dll's with the ones of version 5.6.8 and leave the exe from a previous version or vice versa.
In this case, you install the libraries using the older version (the standalone or the vst) and so you can use them in both.

I have both dll,s and exe from many previouse versions it go back to v 5.2.1.
I even have Kontakt 4 installed
I just rename the exe and the dll,s and that means also the 8 out and the 16 out dll,s o whatever version it is before i update to a new version,

So if the version i got on my PC is say 5.5.0 and the new version is 5.5.1 i rename both exe and dll BEFORE i update
i also removed the exe file from c:/program files just in case it might be uninstalled.
The dll dont need to be removed
So with this solution you can load ANY previouse version of Kontakt both standalone and plugin.
I always add librarys using the standalone for some reason and in this case i added a new library with the 5.6.5 standalone version and that libraray was there when i open the 5.6.8 version.
And it would have worked if i had choosed the plugin version aswell

For me, it's time to find alternative to Kontakt, they have entered in the never ending protection process.
Thanks for sharing so I know I dont buy Kontakt.
I do my own libraries, I dont want to have problem by adding them.

This is a right royal pain in the ass! I'm gonna wait to update and see if R2R come up with a far better solution! This launching Native Access to add a library sucks!

If a flying saucer falls down, from the leftovers we will have new technologies, because, through the challenge of the absurd human capacity, it is not 'kontakt' that will achieve such a feat, do not worry about whatever scrambling kontakt uses, it´ll be a pleasure to try to find out what's already inside it and many will be able to break. A matter of time.

Can anyone say which group released this one please. The self-respecting groups like R2R will usually explain if they couldn't crack this or that part in this release. Is there any nfo with a comment about this problem with this release?
When I get this one, I'll be able to create something

5.6.6 still can be used... until some new libraries appears with min. 5.6.8

I won't download & update any libs require 5.6.8 +

Kontakt5 8out and 16out are always smaller in size, thats no error. 8out and 16out are not real dll´s, they just "hook" the real 64bit.dll with special parameters. I use jBridge for using Kontakt 5 64bit plugin with Cubase 5 32bit. I only have to "bridge" the 64bit.dll to get it working, not the 8out and 16out.

HOW WORKED FOR ME:

Before the 5.6.8:
1. I kept my previous version (5.5.0)
2. Renamed the "kontakt.exe" on the 'program files' to "kontakt ADD LIBRARY.exe"
3. Renamed the VSTs to "OLDKontakt 5 16out.dll", etc..
4. Also the .AAXplugin
(I prefer to keep them for safe...)

Then, just copied the files ("kontakt.exe" to the program files folder / AAXplugin to the standard pro tools plugins folder and the VSTs) from the "C" folder inside the "Native.Instriments.Kontakt.5.v5.6.8.WiN-SYMLiNK.iNSTALLER". You don't need the other messy files! You don't need to install anything. Just copy and paste!

Worked for me! When I wanna ADD some new library I use the old 5.5.0, now named as "kontakt ADD LIBRARY.exe". So, when you open the new one, BAM! It's there!

Good look, friends!

PS: DON'T COPY THE "Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments" FOLDER! KEEP THE OLD ONE! If you copy, you might have some issues with some libraries (the "NIHelperUAC" is there, so important to the "add library" thing! ;)
